Chapter 105 What I Overlooked

Seeing that Prince Qi was speechless, everyone present knew that this peace agreement must be signed as soon as possible.

But who signs?

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up and said: "Empress Dowager, I suggest that it is better for the crown prince to temporarily take the post of supervisor of the country and sign a peace agreement."

Master Cui glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials indifferently, and he knew that he had a close relationship with the Taifu before, and he really belonged to the princeling party.

The empress dowager did not answer him directly, but looked at the prince and asked, "Prince, do you think you are good enough to be the supervisor of the country?"

Prince Murong Qiao stood up slowly, with a humble expression, "Grandmother, my uncles, brothers, and ministers, thank you for your praise and appreciation of this palace. I was terrified when I was hand-picked as the candidate to supervise the country, but I knew that the responsibility of being a crown prince cannot be shirked, and I hope that all the emperors and ministers will help me in the future."

Everyone couldn't help being surprised, where did this come from? The empress dowager just asked him what he meant, and didn't say that he was hand-picked as the candidate to supervise the country. His words seemed humble, but he was already confident and determined to win.

The empress dowager shook her head lightly, stupid, stupid, simply stupid.

She asked him to speak because she knew that a person to supervise the country must be selected today. Since she could not escape, she gave him a chance to speak about his good policies for governing the country and those who opposed him in front of the princes and ministers. He had a heated debate to show his talent, but he would just say that it was her appointment.

How can such recklessness win the hearts of the people?

Sure enough, Prince Li stood up and said: "Empress Dowager, I believe that the selection of the supervisor is of great importance and should not be decided hastily. I suggest that the Empress Dowager will preside over the government tomorrow, select the candidate for the supervisor, and then sign a peace agreement."

Liang Taifu sneered, "Prince Li, the candidate for the supervisor of the country should not be hasty, but His Royal Highness the crown prince supervises the country, he is the crown prince personally appointed by the emperor, and the emperor admired the prince a lot in the early years. Do you remember that the prince When he was canonized, how did the emperor evaluate the prince? In the canonization edict, the emperor said that the prince is gentle, courteous, kind, civil and military, has the sincerity of loyalty and filial piety to save the king and his father, and has the righteousness of friendship and trust in brothers. The emperor praised the prince so highly. Heart, you can learn from it, so it is justifiable for the prince to supervise the country."

Master Cui stood up and said: "That day, the emperor conferred the crown prince, and the imperial edict clearly stated so. However, when the emperor was seriously ill, he conferred the title of the original king as regent and took on the role of supervisor of the country. It can be seen that the emperor thought that the crown prince was young. It still needs to be practiced, and it is not good to put the prince in the limelight too early."

Prince An also said: "Empress Dowager, I also agree with Master Cui's words. The crown prince is young and vigorous, and he has monopolized power too early. He is prone to arrogance and can't control the old ministers. If the officials in the court cannot return to their hearts, the state power will be loose. , if some barbarians start coveting at this moment, it will be a disaster for us."

Liang Taifu said: "Prince An said carefully, you can't control the veterans with this sentence, it seems that you mean something else, don't offend all the veterans present here, if you are targeting this official, just say it bluntly."

Prince An said coldly: "You can hear it. The Taifu is smart. That's right. This king is talking about you. The Crown Prince is ignorant. In the future, he must rely on the Taifu for everything. What are the consequences of the relatives sitting in the meeting? There are many examples that can be used for reference, this king is not alarmist, but as a member of the royal family, this king must ensure that the imperial power will not be left behind."

Liang Taifu said sharply: "Prince An, this is a very serious accusation. To be more serious, you are unreasonably accusing me, pointing out that I have the ambition to usurp the throne. If you don't stand in front of the empress dowager and all the royal ministers today Let me be clear, I will never give up."

Prince An's expression was cold and arrogant, "Teacher, if you don't give up with this king, I will have a discussion with you, not to mention how long it has been, just say that now the candidate for the position of supervisor of the country, as a grand tutor, is it important?" The Zhongshu Order should have been discussed after the election of the supervisor, because it is not yet clear whether the regent is dead or not."

Liang Taifu said: "The regent died of serious injuries, and even the concubine personally confirmed it, is there any fake?"

"Where is the dead body? The living see the dead, and the dead see the dead. So far, even the dead body has not been found, so it is ridiculous to say that the regent of the country is dead."

Taifu Liang was angry, "Then according to what the prince said, if the body of the regent was not found for a day, the seat of the supervisor will be left vacant? The country is so big that no one should be in charge. Could it be that Prince An wants to take the position of supervisor? If it is true Thinking about it this way, to put it bluntly, why bother to cover up your thoughts?"

Prince An said: "What's wrong with this king in supervising the country? In terms of military exploits, knowledge, and martial talents, which one is inferior to the prince?"

Seeing Prince An's constant opposition, Prime Minister Xia was anxious, so he gave Yuan Shi a wink and asked her to speak for the prince.

Yuan Shi turned her head slightly as if she couldn't see it.

Prime Minister Xia was so angry that his face turned blue, but he had to stand up and said: "The Taifu and the prince are in a stalemate, and arguing will only hurt peace. Back then, my wife set up an forum to discuss politics, and the emperor also felt that my wife had unique insights, so it's better to listen to what my wife said. ?”

If anyone said this, it would be shameless to praise his wife like this.

However, only Prime Minister Xia said that would not cause resentment, because it is true that his wife, Yuan Shi Cuiyu, is indeed a strange woman with extraordinary and unique insights.

Everyone looked at Yuan Shi with bated breath, waiting for her to make a high-level statement.

However, many people knew that, because Prime Minister Xia had already sided with the prince, Yuan's words must also support the prince, and everyone present knew that Yuan's words were to suppress Prince An, because Prince An would not Will refute Yuan Shi.

Those who knew the inside story felt that Prime Minister Xia's move was so vicious.

Even Prince Qi couldn't help giving Prince An a pitiful look when he saw him. He had known Prince An for many years, and he knew Prince An's affection for Yuan Cuiyu, so he was bound to lose this time.

The Empress Dowager also wanted to hear what Yuan Shi had to say, not because she thought Yuan Shi would say something high-level, but because the Empress Dowager praised Xia Zian in her heart, and she wanted to know more about Xia Zian by getting to know Yuan Shi.

So, she said: "Ma'am, Aijia also heard the emperor say that if you are a man, you must be the pillar of the country. Aijia wants to hear your opinion."

Mrs. Linglong heard the empress dowager praise Yuan Shi in this way, and saw everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Shi's face. She was so jealous that she went crazy. People Yuan Cui language.

Yuan Shi stood up slowly and bowed to the Empress Dowager. Before she could speak, Prime Minister Xia glanced at Prince An proudly. Prince An's expression was gloomy and he kept looking at Yuan Shi.

Yuan's voice cleared and said: "The minister's wife has lived at home for a long time and has not heard about the government affairs for a long time. She really doesn't have any unique insights. It's just that the minister's wife listened to the argument between the Taifu and the prince, and felt that everyone has overlooked one thing?"

Everyone peeped at each other, what did they ignore?
